Weekly Update 495


In the beginning, it was simple. A website, a database and 150M+ email addresses to search. Time has added serverless functions (which run on servers 🤷‍♂️), code on the edge, new data storage constructs and a completely different mechanism for even just querying a simple email address. HIBP is a continually evolving beast, and barely a week goes by that we don’t implement code of significance. You don’t always see it out there in the public realm, but the tweaks – in including the major one I talk about in this week’s video – all add up to make the platform faster, more sustainable and if we do it right, even a bit more cost-effective to run 😊
